Please before you think to add that support link again don’t. I’m unable to even get the option to click and add “to my phone” I was able to use this feature last year. I can no longer use it. I need actual help rectify this
iPhone 7
Yes, the reason that there are no options under the "On My iPhone" is that, natively, iOS does not have a file management system. The Apple Files app will only save to this location if the apps creating the files are either Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. Since a PDF is not one of these, there is no option to save it here. Instead, the Files app relies on cloud services to save files to.
Again, this is why I use FileBrowser. You may want to consider doing the same.

Ok, I just verified the following worked for me. I have an iPhone SE running iOS 12.4.
Where you can save a PDF file to will depend on what you have available on your iPhone. In my case, I rely on the FileBrowser app. The native Apple Files app will only allow you to save iWork files directly to the phone.
Ok, since you set the "ground rules." What app (Keynote, Numbers, or Pages or something else) created this file, where is this file located (on a device on the local network or from the Internet) and what app (the Apple Files app, FileBrowser, or something else) are you using to try to save it to your iPhone?
Yup. Tried that and wasn’t able to do anything once I click “on my phone”
Thanks. The file is a pdf file from my email.
Oh ok. Thanks. I’ll get that. Thanks.
Can’t save file “to my phone?
